Our backyard campsite is only 9 km from the centre of Alice Springs. Its located in a rural/urban setting. Alice Springs is as famous for the personality of its locals and contemporary and traditional art as the natural wonders, including the stunning Larapinta Trail and the MacDonnell Ranges, which surround it. The Swag Inn camping spot has access to an outdoor shower and toilet and laundry sink. Enjoy the view of the ranges and the amazing stars in the desert night sky from your campsite. Listen to the bird calls and enjoy the peace. Campers are welcome to enjoy the BBQ Firepit and firewood, within local restrictions. Around town, there are numerous sites of historical significance to the region’s settler history, including the Old Telegraph Station Reserve, which marks the town’s important role as the mid-point of the 19th-century telegraph line running from Adelaide to Darwin. There are great places to eat and drink, with great views.The Swag Inn camping spot has access to an outdoor shower and toilet as well as a camp kitchen with a sink.

Wow what a find
Great location, excellent amenities and fantastic hosts. We especially appreciated the insights Kathy and Ashley shared of their local area and community which inspired us to explore Alice Springs more than we originally intended.

We had a wonderful time camping at the Swag Inn. It's close to town, yet offers a peaceful and quiet night around the bonfire under a star-filled sky. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a nearby camping experience. The owners are incredibly responsive and provided seamless service. We definitely plan to return. Thank you, Kathy and Ashley!

Out of Alice and very Peaceful
The Swag Inn at Ross (10 minutes from central Alice) is the best camp we have stayed in. The hosts (Kathy and Ashley) are amazing and extremely helpful with advice on Alice, the West & East McDonnells. Add the hot showers and super clean toilets. Some retro funky outdoor furniture and wood with a terrific communal fire pit. Birds waking you up in the morning in the very peaceful setting. Swag Inn is a terrific central hub to stay at. Great work guys. Keep up the terrific work.
